This week is a very special episode of Haus Haux Podcast! This week we are joined by New York Comedy Club's President of Operations, one of the most valued non-comics in the comedy scene (although very funny,) Brian Morton! Today we talk about developing creativity, taking in and sharing knowledge, business vs personal relationships, our favorite moments that keep us loving comedy and so much more. Brian is a wealth of knowledge and has provided such a warm and inviting atmosphere for comics not only in the club, but with their virtual presence as well. Brian is the mastermind behind so many creative projects nationally and driving comedy and comedians forward with his passion to encourage artists, incubate these spaces and simply sharing what he knows.  Follow Brian and all of his upcoming projects!

Brian Morton, The President of one of the hottest comedy clubs in New York City, New York Comedy Club, stops by Chanel in the City to chat with host, Chanel Omari. Brian opens up about how and why he chose to be in the comedy industry, how he got to be the President of one of the most important clubs in New York City, how comedians should be using their social media in order to get more engagment. 

In his first memoir, novelist Brian Morton chronicles the story of his mother as she suffers from the effects of a stroke and then dementia. The book, Tasha: A Son's Memoir is an excellent look into the lives of not only one family, but I think, many others who have gone through similar experiences with their relatives. From when he resorts to hiding a recording device in his mother's cluttered house, and finds out that her caretaker has verbally abused her, to when Tasha screams that she's being kidnapped at a crowded restaurant when Brian attempts to take her to his house to care for her, to her insistence that anyone who enjoys angel food cake is an idiot, the story Brian paints is both heartbreaking, but also funny. Morton's past books include Florence Gordon and Starting Out in the Evening which was adapted into a film in 2007. Brian's received the Academy Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the Koret Jewish Book Award for Fiction, and the Guggenheim Foundation Award. He's also been a finalist for the PEN/Faulkner Award. We'll talk to Brian this week. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/newsnerds/message

Brian Morton, an accomplished novelist, has turned to nonfiction for the first time in his new book, “Tasha: A Son's Memoir.” On this week's podcast, he discusses his mother's life, the difficulties in taking care of her toward the end of her life and what led him to write a memoir.“I started writing a few pages about her, and I relished the freedom to write directly, to write without having to invent any characters,” Morton says. “I love to write about fictional characters, that's my favorite part of writing. But it takes me a very long time to sort of give birth to them. And here was my mother, perhaps the most colorful character I've ever written about, who was right there to be written about.”Rachel Careau visits the podcast to discuss her new translation of Colette's “Chéri” and its sequel, “The End of Chéri.”“One of the problems with her spare style is that the sentences can lack some of the words that usually oil a sentence,” Careau says of the task of translating the books. “So they can sound a little bit bare, sometimes a little syncopated. And the sound was very important to me, and I really let the sound guide me. But it's difficult to make that bone-on-bone style flow.”Also on this week's episode, Lauren Christensen and Joumana Khatib talk about what they've been reading. John Williams is the host.Here are the books discussed in this week's “What We're Reading”:“Four Treasures of the Sky” by Jenny Tinghui Zhang“The Last Samurai” by Helen DeWitt“Independent People” by Halldor LaxnessWe would love to hear your thoughts about this episode, and about the Book Review's podcast in general. You can send them to books@nytimes.com.

On this Mother's Day bonus episode, writer Brian Morton tells Kitty about the difficulties and delights of caring for his mother, a beloved teacher with a fiery personality who remained stubborn and independent even as her health declined. Brian's memoir, Tasha, is both a portrait of his mother and an account of the complexities of dementia care.

By way of Zanies and Laugh Factory Chicago, New York Comedy Club's fresh new President of Operations tells us his path through the industry, his passion for comedians, and the importance of adapting to new platforms. Brian shares harrowing tales and wonderful advice for comics of all levels in this new Comedians' Boom.

Today on The Weekly Reader, we review two new enthralling memoirs sure to captivate even the most discerning readers: Erika Krouse's Tell Me Everything and Brian Morton's Tasha.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode of Marginalia, KMUW's Beth Golay visits with author Brian Morton about his efforts to write both fiction and non-fiction about his parents.

Hdy gang.  So we danced around with this disingenuous "writer". for the second half which went a little over 2 hours.  This guy literally argues in favor of doing a bad job and irresponsible play.  Yes he actually used the word "play".  Yes. It was funny but at the same time, we found this be some super irresponsible writing.

I sit down and talk with Brian Morton & Rachel Ibrahim of Zanies in Old Town, Chicago. Brian you may remember from years ago when I furtively kept glancing at my phone and he very much noticed it. Rachel is head of marketing at Zanies and is a complete delight. This was a fun one - it was really something to get back in that room and actually share space with some real humans. They're open!

Plus the usual random pub topics! Cheers!

Brian Morton has been a rather mercurial figure to me in the world of Chicago Comedy. I've known him for three years but never had a full conversation with him. He operates behind the scenes of the Laugh Factory in Chicago. It was a pleasant surprise to learn that we got along well and talked about everything from his introduction to the world of comedy, Chicago, comedians he likes, where he sees The Laugh Factory developing and more. Check him out by coming to the damn Laugh Factory in Chicago and being a cool dude or dudette!

Comedian Sarah Perry and manager of the Laugh Factory Chicago join the pub to drink Tequilla and ramble about nicknames, bettering yourself, social media, and losing your virginity!!! Cheers!

The worst volcanic disaster of the 20th century struck Martinique in 1902, killing 30,000 people in the scenic town of Saint-Pierre. But rescuers found one man alive -- a 27-year-old laborer in a dungeon-like jail cell. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll meet Ludger Sylbaris, who P.T. Barnum called "The Only Living Object That Survived in the Silent City of Death." We'll also address some Indian uncles and puzzle over a gruesome hike.

Guest: Brian Morton, MBA Host: Larry Kaskel, MD Should you be asking your patients for more than just their co-pay at the time of their visit? With an assist from computer software, a patient's share of their health care costs can be estimated at or prior to the visit. Some experts believe this appraisal, known as real-time claims adjudication, will become much more common in the years ahead. Brian Morton, region executive and content expert for Halley Consulting, joins host Dr. Larry Kaskel to take a look at how your practice can introduce this concept without creating a stir among your patients.

Author and critic Brian Morton joins Alyn Shipton to select the essential examples of bandleader Sun Ra's work. Born Herman Blount, he was as famous for his exotic headgear and claims that his inspiration and music came from outer space, as his band The Arkestra. Yet beneath the exotic image, Ra was a highly creative musician, redefining the structure and sound of the jazz big band.

Trumpeter Miles Davis was so influential on the course of jazz that his recordings changed the music's direction several times. In this podcast, Alyn Shipton starts out to suggest the essential Miles Davis albums, focussing on the period from 1949-61, and he's joined by trumpeter Guy Barker and author Brian Morton to select the finest of Miles's collaborations with Gil Evans and by his 1950s small groups.
